Hydrogen Hoses for Bunkering

Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier, which will play a key role in the energy transition to tackle various critical energy challenges. Green hydrogen - which is produced via the electrolysis of water, with the electricity coming from renewable sources – it is expected to become widely available in the coming years as the share of solar and wind energy is rapidly increasing in the global power mix.

Green hydrogen will be essential decarbonizing various industries, such as the chemical and steel industry, transportation both on land, water and air.

Benefits & Features

Suitable for dynamic application

Maritime traffic is responsible for 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, hence decarbonizing this industry is crucial to achieve a net-zero emission economy.

Continental is working with key industry players and partners to develop solutions conveying high pressure compressed hydrogen, facilitating the transmission infrastructure.

Specifically, our Hydrogen Hoses for Bunkering will enable safe and dynamic fuel transfer between the vessel and dock or refueling ship. It will provide a scalable solution from small boats to large cargo or cruise ships.
